Los hombres jóvenes que recientemente completaron un programa de YouthWorks en Fall River, aprendiendo habilidades técnicas y habilidades blandas para prepararlos para la fuerza laboral, tuvieron la oportunidad de hablar sobre sus experiencias en el programa con la vicegobernadora Karyn Polito y el Secretario de Trabajo y Desarrollo de la Fuerza Laboral. Rosalin Acosta el jueves 21 de marzo.
Desde su inicio en 1999, YouthWorks, el programa de trabajo de verano de Commonwealth Corporation para adolescentes y adultos jóvenes, se ha basado en asociaciones con empleadores. YouthWorks requiere empleadores comprensivos que estén dispuestos a ayudar a capacitar a adultos jóvenes a través de lo que a menudo es su primer trabajo. Sin ellos, este programa sería imposible.

Commonwealth Corporation es una agencia cuasipública que se estableció en el 1996 bajo la Oficina Ejecutiva de Trabajo y Desarrollo de la Fuerza Laboral.
